The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is an education and fundraising event for breast cancer research.

Sugar Creek Road to close

Sugar Creek Road is now scheduled to close on Monday and to remain blocked between Greensboro and Northmore streets until fall 2018.

The extended closing also will allow NCDOT to complete the Sugar Creek Road Grade Separation project. Construction will include building a new bridge over the rail tracks in that area. North Davidson Street will be realigned to meet with Redwood Avenue.

Blue Line meetings

Charlotte Area Transit System will host open house meetings on the Lynx Blue Line Extension Oct. 13-15.

The events are a chance to meet CATS staff, learn about the light-rail project and ask questions. The north line from uptown to UNC Charlotte is under construction and is scheduled to open in 2017.
